Nice list but for me if 2017 had only BotW and Odyssey it will still be the best year by far. If you add to that Splatoon2, Mario+Rabbits, Arms, Xenoblade 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, etc. it is just an unreal year for Nintendo, and for any company to be honest.

Man 2017 was hard to beat but I think you definitely got this right. Great video!

I just hope Nintendo can keep Switch momentum going in the 2020 by releasing more 1st party titles. Also great vid. Thanks

My top 3 1. 2017, had the best games in my opinion. And really turned the company around. 2. 2014, Mario Kart 8 and Smash 4. Do I need to say more. I was extremely hyped for both of these games. 3. 2010, This is when I first started to play games. And Super Mario Galaxy 2 is my favorite game of all time.

I saw that 2017 wasn't number 1, and at first I was like, "Wait really?" But when I saw what you had as number 1 I agreed with completely. Good video!

Being that the switch right now is my favorite console of all time, I gotta give the number one spot to 2017 personally. Amazing new system, epic new zelda, and incredibly fun new mario game. Nothing else can beat that for me.

2020: Animal Crossing New Horizons, Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, Paper Mario The Origami King, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Super Mario 3D All Stars, Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity. This has been a pretty banger year.

It feels so good to be a 2010s kid!

Ngl I found this channel last week and it’s grown to be one of my favorites. Severely underated channel. Keep up the good work

2010 also had Wario Ware DIY. But anyway, I'd like to see some rankings for the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

6:33 *THIS GAME BLOWS!!*

7:29 the dark age of Nintendo

2017 was definitely the best

I think that 2017 was a monumental year for nintendo and in my opinion its at the top.

Breath Of The Wild Mario Odyssey Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Splatoon 2 MarioKart 8 Deluxe The elements to a great Nintendo year!

Man, you make really good content. Keep on doing this!

Great video! This actually makes me really glad I took a year off studying in 2017. Playing Breath of the Wild was definitely the personal highlight for me that year too

This video was great Animal Crossing New Lead was my first AC game so there’s a lot of nostalgia there. I also loved DK country returns and so many of the other games you mentioned.

the fact that u put the dark age of nintendo as high as u did sickens me

I actually enjoyed Happy Home Designer.

I'm convinced 2013 was a great year not just for Nintendo but also everyone. New consoles. Great films. Great music. Obama

I was surprised that 2015 wasn’t lower, lol. I like that you took the time to put this together though.

This video deserves way more views! It’s a really interesting idea and it’s cool to look back at each year.

Really great video! It deserves more views. Like a lot more.

Now that we have a 2010s list, here's my personal 2000s list. 10. 2002 (Super Mario Sunshine, Starfox Adventures, Metroid Prime, Rare becomes a Microsoft Property) 9. 2000 (Majoras Mask, Pokemon Gold/Silver, Banjo Tooie, Mario Tennis *first appearance of Waluigi*) 8. 2009 (NSMBW, Bowsers Inside Story, Wii Sports Resort) 7. 2008 (Mario Kart Wii, SSBB *Tripping mechanic*, Wario Land Shake It, Kirby Super Star Ultra) 6. 2005 (Mario Kart DS, Nintendo WiFi starts, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, Many Mario spinoff titles, Kirby Canvas Curse, Starfox Assault) 5. 2006 (Chibi Robo, Wii Sports phenomenon, Twilight Princess, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, NSMB, Kirby Squeak Squad) 4. 2004 (Paper Mario TTYD, Four Swords Adventures, SM64DS, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Pikmin 2, Metroid Prime 2, the E3 showing) 3. 2001 (SSBM, Pikmin, Paper Mario, Super Mario Advance, Conkers, Sega becoming third party bringing Sonic to Nintendo) 2. 2003 (Mario Kart Double Dash, Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, F-Zero GX, Kirby Air Ride, Wind Waker, GB Player, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga) 1. 2007 (Super Mario Galaxy *becoming one of the best Mario games ever*, Mario and Sonic Olympics, Mario Party DS, Metroid Prime 3, Super Paper Mario)

I think you forgot Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in 2014 and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in 2017 which both would've really added to the years they were in, but I can understand seeing as you said you aren't a big Pokémon fan and I don't think these games were hyped up that much anyways.

this needs so many more views it's crazy

2013 was the best year for me I got my 3ds Animal Crossing New leaf came out (I am a big AC fan.) Pokemon X came out (I love pokemon plus it was the first 3d pokemon game)

Oh wow a channel that doesn't just overlook the Wii U as a console and source of multiple Greta games. I appreciate it

Honestly I personally believe that 2017 is the best year.

What a creative video man!

2017 was my favorite Nintendo year, and 2013 is my favorite year all around

Even though 2017 has like best Nintendo games release it was the worst year in my life because I was suffering a lot in school and here I am, no longer feeling emotions anymore

Definitely agree with 2013

“Mario kart 8 the best mario kart game” Show this guy funky kong please

Hey Chief, just wanna let you know im gonna need some more videos because I’m just finished watching all of yours

THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING MARIO SND RABBIDS, THANK YOU

I’m pretty sure that xenoblade chronicles game out in 2010? Just a minor criticism but otherwise a really Great video! :)

I'd give it to 2014. Smash 4 and Omega Ruby are two games I absolutely adore and have sunk hundreds of hours into, and with Triple Deluxe, Mario Kart 8, and Tropical Freeze supplementing them it's not even close.

2017 is the best year of Nintendo, not only for Nintendo, but the best year ive experienced

Kid icarus and xenoblade chronicles are my top 2 favorite games of all time so 2012 is gonna be much higher for me

For y’all from the future, where would you place 2020? Personally I would put it pretty middle of the road. The first half had AC, middle had nothing, but it at least finished strong.

Any year of those mentioned in the video is still better than 2020

You actually deserve so many more subscribers

I got a Pokemon ad watching this

Nice list bro, but you forgot pokemon ultra sun and ultra moon in 2017, the only modern pokemon game I've played and probably the only one I'll enjoy again.

I thought 2017 was going to be in first with absolutely no question. Also surprised 2010 was so low with SMG2 and DKC Returns, and most importantly the greatest kirby game ever made Kirby’s Epic Yarn

My rankings plus must play games (including 2020): 11.2019: Super Mario Maker 2, Doreamon Story of Seasons, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD (so many disappointing games, every game I bought other than the above I returned) 10.2011: Kirby's Return to Dreamland (not a bad year, just a barren one) 9.2016: Paper Mario: Color Splash (another barren year) 8.2014: Tomodachi Life* (the other big titles were slightly underwhelming) 7.2018: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Mario Party (no good 3ds games, very few Switch titles) 6.2015: Yoshi's Woolly World* (tons of games I like, like both Animal Crossing games, Super Mario Maker, and Splatoon, but I don't love any of them) 5.2012: Nintendo Land, Mario Party 9 (Nintendo Land needs a Switch port/sequel) 4.2013: Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pikmin 3, Wii Party U (My favorite game of all time is AC:NL) 3.2010: Super Mario Galaxy 2, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Super Monkey Ball: Step and Roll, Wii Party (Best Mario game, best Kirby game, best(ish) Super Monkey Ball game, best Wii series game) 2.2017: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Sonic Mania, Disgaea 5 Complete*, Miitopia* (Breath of the Wild and Miitopia are top 5 games of all time contenders) 1.2020: ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS, Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, Paper Mario: The Origami King, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Mad Rat Dead*, Pikmin 3 Deluxe*, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity* (ANIMAL CROSSING:NEW HORIZONS alone would put 2020 in the top 5, but with all of these other amazing titles that YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO, it is easliy the best year for me, though it is the worst year for my wallet...) If you actually read this entire thing, good for you. You've prize is...the knowledge of all these amazing games. Seriously, you should look into these. If it has a *, there is a free demo on it's system.

Nintendo in 2014, 2011 and 2015 were the best imo.

Ye I had a Wii and Xbox 360 then later got a Wii U , lots of great memories from 2010-2016 but I’ve also had a lot of fun with the switch but I was a bit older when the switch released

GOD I LOVE 2017

can anyone list me the music in this video in order?

Kirby sa is pretty good

What about Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentina? That came out in 2017.

" *THE BABY* "- Samus

Mario Kart 7 was awesome. 3D land was pretty good. Pokemon is fun. The rest I either never heard of or played

For me, 2017 is my favorite year! I mean BOTW, SMO, Xeboblade 2!

Dude I saw acnh and it reminded me of being young

What is the soundtrack for 2014 it is great

13:35 This music makes me feel is Zelda year

I personally think 2017 is the best year , the Switch release, I am a GIANT Splatoon 2 fan.

This is a underrated vid

Personally I consider 2016 to be the worst Nintendo year, not only for the games but because it was full of controversies in all places, like Nintendo censoring some games, Nintendo taking down fangames like AM2R (which they had done before, but not at that level of notoriety), Smash 4 being broken after the release of Bayonetta, the lack of NX news, no E3, the Paper Mario, Star Fox, Metroid and Fire Emblem comunities breaking appart for the recent games and some other stuff. Nintendo has had controversies every year that tend to "balance"with the games released and announcements, but in 2016 there were barely any interesting games so it was very negative.

2012 may have been really bad in terms of games but at least we got the Wii U (best console ever imo).

7:49 pls someone tell me what this somgs name is

10. 2016 (Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokken) 9. 2015 (Mario Maker and Splatoon) 8. 2012 (Kid Icarus Uprising and Pokémon Black and White 2) 7. 2018 (Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Super Mario Party) 6. 2014 (Mario Kart 8 and Smash 4) 5. 2010 (Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Donkey Kong Country Returbs) 4. 2019 (Mario Maker 2 and Luigi’s Mansion 3) 3. 2011 (Mario Kart 7 and Kirby’s Return to Dreamland 2. 2013 (Super Mario 3D World and Pikmin 3) 1. 2017 (Zelda Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey)

I thought that you might put 2015 or 2016 for worst years but then I realized that you were doing it by releases and not overall because some pretty good games came out like Planet Robobot just off the top of my head. (I wrote this comment before watching most of the video)

Does Sin and Punishment count as 2010?

12: 2016 (Twilight Princess HD, Color Splash, Starfox Zero, Federation Force, Pokémon Sun and Moon, Planet Robobot) 11: 2015 (Woolly World, Splatoon, Mario Party 10, Zip Lash, Amiibo Festival, Ultra Smash) 10: 2012 (Sticker Star, Kid Icarus Uprising, Nintendo Land, Xenoblade Chronicles, Pokémon Black and White, NSMB. U/2) 9: 2021 (WarioWare Get It Together, Bowser’s Fury, Metroid Dread, Mario Party Superstars) 8: 2010 (Super Mario Galaxy 2, Epic Yarn, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Other M, Heart Gold and Soul Silver) 7: 2018 (Super Smash Bros, Super Mario Party, Star Allies, Let’s Go Pikachu, Overcooked 2) 6: 2011 (Mariokart 7, Return to Dream Land, Pilotwings Resort, Mario Sports Mix, Super Mario 3D Land) 5: 2019 (Mariokart Tour, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Super Mario Maker 2, Crafted World, Link’s Awakening) 4: 2014 (Mariokart 8, Tropical Freeze, Triple Deluxe, Captain Toad, Super Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS, Hyrule Warriors) 3: 2013 (A Link Between Worlds, 3D World, Pikmin 3, Dark Moon, Fire Emblem Awakening, New Leaf) 2: 2020 (New Horizons, Origami King, Age of Calamity, 3D All Stars) 1: 2017 (Super Mario Odyssey, Arms, Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, Samus Returns, Mariokart 8 Deluxe)

I think you had it backwards with 2010 and 2011. 2010 was an excellent year for Nintendo, Galaxy 2 and DKCR are excellent games. Kirby's epic yarn is fun too. Those are better than anything in 2011 I think. I didn't like Skyward Sword and OoT 3D is just a remake of a better game on N64.

2017 is mine, we got botw, Mario odyssey, etc. it all depends on how good 2021 is

Feel like you should try out mario kart tour again it's way better then what it use to be

The best part of 2017 was getting the hottest version of link.

Feel you were way too harsh to 2019, it was an amazing year with a great balance of quality and quantity.

Dang U got some unique tastes b

My Favourite Games of Each Year: 2010: Donkey Kong Country Returns (10/10) 2011: Super Mario 3D land (7/10) 2012: Mario Party 9 (8.5/10) 2013: Super Mario 3D World (9.5/10) 2014: Tomodachi Life (7/10) 2015: Super Mario Maker (9.5/10) 2016: Mario Party Star Rush (5/10) 2017: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (8/10) 2018: Super Smash Bros Ultimate (5/10) 2019: Super Mario Maker 2 (10/10, best nintendo game ever) 2020: Animal Crossing New Horizons (8/10)

Astral Chain was by Platinum tho..

Didn’t Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire release in 2014? Good vid btw

I couldn’t help but see that yoshi’s new island wasn’t in the 2014 section

I was thinking the same thing

The best and the worst year right next to each other?

smg2 great game growing up

My question is when is punch out coming back

Agreeable.

honestly 2018 was pretty delicious for nintendo imo

The Wonderful 101 in 2013 cannot be forgotten, easily the best game on the Wii U

if I’m honest 2017 is the best of the decade for Nintendo games

2010 > 2015

so every four years there comes a dark year for Nintendo，and accompanied by a paper Mario game lol（2012 2016 2020）

Pokemon lets go pikachu and eevee Is literly in my top 5 favorite games of all time and mario party 10 to

The best games of each year 2010: Mario galaxy 2 2011: Kirby epic yarn 2012: Kid Icarus: Uprising 2013: Animal crossing: New leaf 2014: Mariokart 8 2015: Splatoon 2016: Pokémon sun and moon 2017: Zelda BOTW 2018: Smash ultimate 2019: Pokémon sword and shield

Putting 2018 third to last is a crime

New leaf was a 2012 game...

Good list but 2017 simply has to be top and tbh 2016 should be last but I'm more or less the same as this👍

rayman legend is a third party game and if you count it why you didnt count rayman origins in 2011

about Fire Emblem Awakening. While technically it *did* save the franchise due to circumstance, there's a lot of misinformation surrounding that front. First off; it was the first game in the series to receive proper and *good* advertising. Secondly, EVERY NON-SPINOFF GAME IN THE SERIES, including the worst selling game in the series, being the Japan only remake of FE3, sold more than what was necessary to keep the franchise going.

i think this is fair but if you look at overall sales then 2014-16 should be the lowest since I think those years had the least sales (part due to the Wii U's failure). 2018 shouldn't be near the bottom of the list. While it might make sense for those who have owned the Wii U, there were hundreds of thousands of people who didn't own a Wii U but owned a switch. Since the Wii U had many great first party games, it makes sense to port those to the switch. Since the ports were done well, I don't think 2018 should be that low. 2017, in my opinion, is still better than 2013 by the amount of releases.
